Wow that's quite the gesture. Very awesome. I can't seem to tell what they are - blue dial Datejusts??

I'll join the team. That is quite the feat to assemble that many watches in one place.

What do you think, he walked in last Saturday and asked for this? This has probably been in the works since the season ended, so give or take 5-6 months.

They still have a go at him for wearing his full kit afterwards when he never played in the final, that tragic image will never die.

Doubt it, lots of free advertising for Rolex and they surely accommodated him buying 20 pcs. Not all customers are equal

What models are these? It’s hard to tell from the photos, but looks like blue dials

Should have been BLNRs, given the Inter home strip, but imagine sourcing that many at once.

Incidentally, my 7-year-old son has the Inter kit; he wanted a blue strip and I couldn't bear the idea of Chelsea, Leicester, Everton, Portsmouth etc, so Inter it was. Some classy players have been there: Baggio, Bergkamp, fat Ronaldo and so on. Of course he's now decided he wants a Man City one too, as De Bruyne is his idol, so little brother will fly the Inter flag.

You realise he’s a multi millionaire right. VIPS would get special treatment. If he bought from a chain they could easily source that many.

These are all blue dial Datejust...126634..in the group photo you can see the cyclops. There is no reason Rolex wouldn’t accommodate with a month or 2 notice. He didn’t ask for Pepsi GMT’s. Or maybe he did?.....well, he got entry level Datejust, still quite the gesture!
